Zesty Cannellini Bean Dip

I have made this dip a few times in the past, but as I usually make up the recipe I can never remember exactly what I put in it the last time I made it- 
So this time I am getting the recipe down on here! 

It is a really delicious and tasty dip, that is super easy to make and is a great alternative to hummus if you don't have any chickpeas in the cupboard! I find that by using Cannellini beans the dip is really creamy and doesn't require any oil which is good. The zest gives it a nice kick as well.
Serve it with some crudites or tortillas! 


Recipe: (makes 1 large bowl/tub)

- 1 Can of Cannellini beans
- 1/2 Lemon, juice and zest
- 1 Lime, juice and zest
- Good bunch of Chives, Coriander and mint (whichever fresh herbs you have!)
- 1/2 tsp Chilli flakes
- 1 tsp ground Cumin 
- 1/2 garlic powder/ granules (can use fresh)
- Salt and Pepper

To make:

- Put all of the ingredients in to a food processor and whizz until smooth. This may take a few minutes- it will look dry to begin with but as it is whizzed more it becomes smoother! 

- Empty the dip out in to a pretty bowl and if you like, drizzle with a little oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs. 

 - Then serve with crudites and crisps!



All the ingredients in the food processor ready for whizzing!


The finished dip ready for devouring!! 



  Enjoy!
